Nads I feel that they have shifted the focus from Sahir to Az now. She is shown to be the thinking one, the limelight seems to be on her, now with Alvira being shown fishy, it may turn out to be a saas bahu blah kinda stuff with both the wifey and MIl in a wrestle to gain Sahir's trust.
I somehow don't find Sahir's trust in Alvira fishy at all. Maybe i have perceived their relationship in a different way, but i always believe that he sees her as someone he can look up to and believes that she will help him wherever required. The belief stems out of the past incidents in his life for sure.
If you remember the initial episodes where they showed Shiraj, he mentions that Alvira can easily manipulate Sahir into anything and thats why frustrated he leaves for Dubai and she doesn't stop him. Later when she gives Zaki as an idi to him, he is stunned but she knows he will simply agree. Zaki being offered a VP position is part of Al's manipulation only. Sahir just can't see or doesn't want to see anything beyond his mom's wishes.
When the Nausheen khandaan is about to leave after Ka's insult, alvira asks him to step in to stop them and without questioning he obeys her. Even when AZ is employed in Sayara , he is upset but concedes because ammi wants it.
For him Al is his support system, she stands by his lies to Az, is ok about Zaki's marriage to Sam for Sayara, and even prefers him over Zee, her own daughter, because she wants him to move on in life and be happy. How can he not believe in her ?
The scene where he begs Alvira to stop Az from leaving from Lucknow is heart rending, he is on his knees begging her to stop Az, she shows no affection or concern but goes to the room and stops Az from leaving. We know she has vested interest but he doesn't know that. For him, he asked and ammi ne theek kar diya.
I have a feeling even in the Zee's accident, he might have been the suspect, but she might have supported him so that he doesn't go to jail just the way she is lying to protect Az. N maybe it is replaying in his mind and he says Ammi sab theek kar degi believing that she will protect Az just the way she has protected him all these years from the police. I am sure he is indebted to her for many more things and if we are lucky enough, cvs ki kripa, we might get to see what ties him to Al and this family.
My only problem is that the story is not from Sahir's POV anymore. The USP of HS was that the whole story revolved around the male lead for a change. You could see his thoughts, his actions, reactions, manipulations, subsequent guilt and thats what made the show so special. That is sorely missing now and it just looks like any other ho hum serial now, Just hope that they quickly correct that and bring back the limelight on SAC. If his character gets lost in the melee of the new tracks, then HS will not be worth watching anymore.
